Great New UK Trailer for Ian McKellen's MR. HOLMES

We have a wonderful new UK trailer for director Bill Condon's Mr. Holmes, which stars Sir Ian McKellen (The Hobbit, X-Men, The Lord of the Rings) as an aging Sherlock Holmes opposite Laura Linney (Kinsey, You Can Count on Me). This looks like it's going to be a great film, and it's based on the novel called A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin.

The story is set in 1947 "when an aging Holmes returns from Japan, where, in search of a plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now in his remote seaside farmhouse Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees with only the company of his housekeeper (Linney) and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits an unsolved case which forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love – before it’s too late."

Mr. Holmes will be released in theaters on July 17th!

MR HOLMES is in UK Cinemas June 19. THE MAN BEYOND THE MYTH Academy Award nominee Ian McKellen takes on the iconic role of Detective Sherlock Holmes, one of the British literature's most reveered characters in the forthcoming film MR HOLMES.
